In the seventh issue paper of the Feminist Digital Justice project, authors Kumudini Samuel, Florencia Partenio, and Cai Yiping from DAWN explore feminist digital activism in the global South and suggest ways to diversify it. The paper begins by taking stock of digital activism so far. Taking contemporary examples of digital activism in China and Argentina, the authors undertake a feminist analysis of the evolution of feminist digital activism in the global South, and critically assess the inherent challenges of navigating the online space, particularly for women from the Global South. In conclusion, the authors emphasise the need to reclaim and own the online space while criticising it, particularly in light of the pandemic, as much of the world moves online.
